Jean-Eric Vergne has called on the organisers of Formula E and the World Endurance Championship to find a solution to clashing dates on next season\u2019s calendars.\u00a0
Both drivers are also due to compete for Peugeot in the WEC next season, but provisionally there are three clashes between the championships across the year.
“We are quite hopeful together with the organiser of the WEC and Formula E that they can find a solution,” said Vergne, Formula E champion in 2017-18 and 2018-19. “I’m convinced that they are working to find a solution so we’re very hopeful that somebody will change the date but in case there is this clash, my priority is DS Penske and Formula E.” Photo by: Sam Bagnall /The Formula E calendar is due to go before the World Motor Sport Council on 19 October, where it will be formally approved.
“There are a lot of drivers combining both programmes and I think both programmes are kind of complimentary but hopefully Formula E and WEC together will find a solution to avoid this clash.
